That's apt enough that I almost wish it were true, but it's not.
'They'
didn't tell us we were attacked because 'they hate our freedom'.
That's a just-so story made up by American politicians. Al-Qaida were
always clear about the fact that they attacked because US troops refused
to leave Saudi Arabia. The 'freedom' lie was made up mostly to mask
the way American foreign policy also affects Americans back home. It
sounds so principled to say you were attacked because you have freedom,
but it's as much of a classic vanity persecution mania story as, say, a
religious majority saying they're being persecuted for their
morals/beliefs.
